FactSet (FDS) Set to Report Q3 Earnings: What to Expect?
Read MoreHide Full Article
FactSet Research Systems Inc. (FDS - Free Report) will report third-quarter fiscal 2021 results on Jun 29, before the bell.
The company has an impressive earnings surprise history, having surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the last four quarters, the average being 8.8%.
FactSet Research Systems Inc. Price and EPS Surprise
The consensus estimate for revenues in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at $396.9 million, indicating 6.1% growth from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. The top line is expected to have been driven by higher sales of analytics, content and technology solutions.
The bottom line is expected to have been hurt by rise in operating expenses stemming from increased spend in compensation and technology. The consensus mark for the same is pegged at $2.75 per share, suggesting a decline of 3.9% on a year-over-year basis.
What Our Model Says
Our proven Zacks model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for FactSet this season. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP, and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold), increases the odds of an earnings beat. But that’s not the case here. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
Here are a few stocks from the broader Zacks Business Services sector that investors may consider, as our model shows that these have the right combination of elements to beat on earnings in their upcoming release.
ManpowerGroup (MAN - Free Report) has an Earnings ESP of +0.85% and a Zacks Rank #2.
S&P Global (SPGI - Free Report) has an Earnings ESP of +2.16% and a Zacks Rank #3.
Aptiv (APTV - Free Report) has an Earnings ESP of +1.38% and a Zacks Rank #3.
Infrastructure Stock Boom to Sweep America
A massive push to rebuild the crumbling U.S. infrastructure will soon be underway. It’s bipartisan, urgent, and inevitable. Trillions will be spent. Fortunes will be made.
The only question is “Will you get into the right stocks early when their growth potential is greatest?”
Zacks has released a Special Report to help you do just that, and today it’s free. Discover 7 special companies that look to gain the most from construction and repair to roads, bridges, and buildings, plus cargo hauling and energy transformation on an almost unimaginable scale.
